Here's the pattern....

Yes, unfortunately General Theology is dominated by anti-Catholic threads 99% of the time. Sometimes I think General Theology should be renamed "Anti-Catholic Theology".

I don't see it to be 99%..I do wonder why you don't see anti Orthodox threads?

The church was never to teach but be taught???


Where did this come from?

Sounds very anti-scriptural to me.

Where does it say in Scripture that the Church should teach???

Couple of quickies...

The church is where you go to settle disputes and the church is the foundation and bulwark of the truth.

In both these case (from scripture) we see how the church teaches.

 

[holdon]

Penance you say?

This must be your day

Be Catholic and pray

And Jesus will say

repentant and contrite are needed

if His words be heeded

For Jesus will say

You are forgiven this day

And don't forget to pay....

You're free to start one if you don't see any anti-Catholic threads that pique your interest.

Don't you guys believe in tithe?

 

[JacktheCatholic]

Don't you guys believe in tithe?

Catholics do.

Even Peter felt it was important.

Of course you don't. Not because it isn't there, its because you choose not to see it.

 

[holdon]

Oh, I see. I should see something that isn't there. Right?

 

[sunlover1]

Thanks Jack.
Must be the smily was about something else which I wont bring up here.

I believe in tithing too.

*ducks in anticipation of the onslaught

 

[namericanboy]

Don't you guys believe in tithe?

Tithe was the legal work..Now we have the freedom to give offering of our choice, cheerfully.. We aren't restricted to just 10% of our time. talents and finances..

Far be it for me to tell you what you should see in Scripture. You are entitled to find your own meaning of the words "Teach them all I commanded you."
